Recent publications of material on Traveller on the "Wikia" Wiki have made use of the unlimited license provided under its license. As a result, material LICENSED under the "Fair Use Policy" of Traveller has, essentially, been stolen for profit by a "wiki scavenger." This scavenger publishes using Amazon services, essentially bypassing the copyrights of people like Marc Miller, who owns the rules set and much if not all of the underlying "background."
It is time for people who know how to do these things to think about creating a wiki that runs ONLY ounder the "FUP" type of license -- a license which FORBIDS for-profit use of material specifically protected by copyright or trademark.
You may be willing to write just for the love of doing so. However, the good ideas that have gotten YOU thinking and rolling dice were created by other people. Whether it's pennies or millions (and I doubt Mr. Miller is a millionaire), there is no reason to let someone ELSE make profits on the ideas of Marc Miller and other Traveller writers.
